Artist Dorfman’s drawings burst colorfully into life as she animates the story of her long-distance relationship with a man whose profession—plastic surgery—gives her plenty of fodder for thought about what makes a person beautiful. Flawed is less about whether girl can get along with boy than whether girl can accept herself, imperfections and all. Animated in timelapse, as an homage to the time-honoured tradition of storyboarding, the plot of Flawed, unfolds like a storybook, one watercolour painting at a time.
